Jack London took a high place in American literature at the beginning of the 20th
century At that time, the library shelves and bookshops of America were already full of books by famous writers But Jack London’s stories were new ones; his heroes were not like the ones in the books of other writers, and the pictures he painted were not the same as their pictures
